Can a E-5 make another E-5 stand at parade rest for them?

Is the one SGT the supervisor/first line leader of the other SGT?

Assuming one is in a leadership position over the other, they probably could. The better question would be what kind of ass clown would attempt such bovine feces?

Only if you are in a higher duty position- this could bite you in the 4th POC!

I've seen it happen once, but the other Sgt had screwed up pretty badly and was a Spc the next morning.

1963, took a ship to the Far East...over a 1000 troops, including Seabees and 100 airborne. once at sea, it gets boring and all are on deck in t-shirt with name and rank on t-shirt. gung-ho airborne buck sergeant walking around rounding up folks for details...came up to me (name and rank on shirt, E5) and told me to move it. I politely told him I'd be glad to help him with the detail but I don't work for another E5. At this point I stood up and he got up in my face and told me drop and give him 20, I smiled and said "no"; I never saw an airborne sergeant have a fit like that. guess nobody ever told him no before. He went and got his lieutenant and I explained it to him. At this point I asked to see the Battalion commander so off we went. the sitting commander was a medical colonel (I was medical)...He told them both to get out of his office and leave his medics alone. no shit (LOL)

Does one work for the other, does one rate the other? Then I would say yes.

There are two possible answers:
1) Of course not, why would you ask?
2) Well, assuming someone had a sort of positiinal authority over you... they're a jerk abusing their power. Plain and simple if your bosses go along with it then they are definitely playing favorites.

I've locked up Soldiers on only 4 occasions over the last 20+ years, and all for SERIOUSLY screwing up. One of the first things I do when talking to another Soldier is tell them to relax if they're standing at parade rest; I've found that most Soldiers see this as a sign of camraderie because I view them as a fellow Soldier rather than someone less than me. Now as far as locking up an NCO, I personally never would - I'd separate him or her from everyone else, then we'd talk in private NCO to NCO (and I have done this on several occasions...one of the first things I do is tell the person to sit down, which allows them to calm down and think).

If they're "in charge" of you, then probably. But what kind of dipshit Buck Sergeant would really demand this of another E5?

Yes, one works for the other.

Yes if the one has more time in grade, and is his or her supervisor.
